Project Overview & Aesthetic Design

A hexagonal desktop storage caddy made of clustered, upright cardboard tubes cut at varying heights, wrapped in textured linen or painted in a desert terracotta gradient.

Step-by-Step DIY Execution Guide

  • Cut 7 toilet paper tubes into staggered heights: one at 4.5 inches, three at 3.5 inches, and three at 2.5 inches.

  • Paint the exterior of each tube in warm terracotta, sand, and sage green acrylic paint.

  • Glue the tubes together in a tight cluster with the tallest tube in the center and shorter tubes surrounding it.

  • Cut a flat cardboard base matching the cluster’s footprint and glue it to the bottom.

  • Wrap a 0.5-inch wide strip of faux leather or braided jute rope around the entire cluster waist, securing with a drop of glue.

  • Use the compartments to sort pens, scissors, markers, and rolled USB charging cables.
